A great friend of mine was staying at the CitizenM hotel, doing nothing and bumming around. So I thought I would pay my friend a visit and hang out in the quirky, boutique hotel in the heart of London. CitizenM is situated by the Thames, between Southwark Station and London Bridge Station. Upon arrival, if I didn’t know where I was going I would not have realised that the building is a boutique hotel. The hotel room was fully equipped and monitored by the touch of your fingertip – controlling the lighting to suit your mood; play movies and music on the portable tablet device at your bed side. What I liked about it was that it had a curtain to split the room for privacy despite a compact ensuite room. Whilst using the bathroom; my friend thought it was funny to change the mood by switching colours; it genuinely did feel like I was in a disco room! The hotel is great for business men and women travelling from different parts of the world; definitely not the kind of hotel you would stay in as a tourist. At £199 a night; the room offers free wifi/movies, XL king size bed, power rain shower, wall to wall window and built in shower room.
What’s great about the CitizenM hotel in London Bridge is that you don’t have to have a booked room to hang out. From what I can see, there are a lot of students; business men and women chilling, working, having coffee and a place to catch up with your old pals. It’s kind of a giveaway as I am seeing a lot of students on their laptops with chargers plugged into the wall. It’s like one big playground so you are really getting what you are paying for. After a tasty treat of a brownie; it was time to head home and say goodbye to my friend who was waiting for his girlfriend (also a good friend of mine) to finish work. Shame I couldn’t stick around longer but I am sure they had a romantic evening planned one day, I will stay here and have my own room!
